Silver, It's Not All about You
I watched 90210 last night, and every time Silver was on the screen, I was yelling something to the effect of, “OMG, Silver. Sometimes it’s not all about you.”
It’s not that I expect a reasoned and rational portrayal of someone suffering from mental illness, but that seems to be the hallmark of the 90210 take on bipolar disorder.
Yet somehow I keep watching. Maybe next season, Chuck will be on at 9pm on Tuesdays, and I won’t have to watch 90210. Yeah, I could turn the TV off, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

While watching last night’s episode I felt the same way. I honestly can’t believe that this is a real show because the writing is so terribly poor it’s embarrassing for television as a whole.
Yet I keep watching it. Even though I am super into Fringe – a better show in every.single.way. I hate myself for it every time I turn to the CW at 9.

Maybe we need a support group to help us get over the guilt we feel for watching such a bad show. Or to help us quit watching it altogether.

90210 is poorly written, poorly acted, but still a very watchable show. Whether it’s to see the train wreck that is Erin Silver or for the nods to the original series, I continue to watch 90210. I enjoyed some elements of Fringe, but had to give it up.

90210 is the Black Dagger Brotherhood of the television world. For reference, see: http://bit.ly/OEyvQ . Also, a total side note, I will be posting my own review of Lover Avenged next Friday. This Friday’s review is of The Forest of Hands and Teeth.
